What is Planet Protein?

What are Planet Points?

Common consensus puts the range between 15-25 grams per sitting. While suggestions vary, these are the most acceptable number’s spread. Planet Protein’s meal bars are a suggested on-the-fly solution if you're out of a dinner, but we suggest giving yourself a break!

Why should I pay a little more for a Planet Protein bar?

In the simplest terms, you get more! Our bars are at the apex of the market in terms of size, fiber, and protein. Our bars are comparable in price per gram to many of the market leaders at all sizes. Better yet, our bars pack all of that punch with no compromise in terms of quality, flavor, or nutrient density.

Why doesn’t Planet Protein use palm oil?

We’re serious about our planet, and we will never cut corners. Palm oil is the ultimate corner cutter. It’s a cheap, unhealthy, highly processed oil whose industry presence is a direct affront to human rights, animal welfare, and environmental stewardship. Palm oil is one of the foremost plagues our planet is currently enduring.

What’s with the sugar?

Our proteins, fats, and carbs aren’t all equals, so why would our sugars be?! Our primary sources of sweetness are dates, cherries, and other natural products. Our bars average a range of between a banana and an apple, and are of substantial size, thus lowering the overall impact of the sugar per gram.

What is brown rice syrup?

Brown rice syrup is a healthier alternative to refined sugars and is made by exposing cooked rice to the enzymes that break down the starches into sugars. It is fructose-free, natural, and better for you than cheap refined sugars. It is a complex sugar that takes longer to break down, while the overall inclusion of high fiber, high protein ingredients reduces the overall glycemic impact.

Does Planet Protein use any “natural flavors” or preservatives?

Planet Protein is committed to innovating a full line of products in the years to come without ever compromising to include unnatural preservatives, or bogus flavors.

What is a FODMAP?

FODMAP is a fancy acronym which stands for “Fermentable oligo, di, mono-saccharides and polyols.” They represent a chain of added sweeteners used commonly in our foods. Known as “sugar alcohols,” they’re the culprit that burns on the way down and turns your stomach. We are proud to have no sugar alcohols in our products, and we never will.

Does Planet Protein carry a nut-free bar?

At the time of this writing we unfortunately do not. We intend on working with the many nut-free families we’ve met along this journey to research and select a nut-free flavor. We are excited to build the next generation stronger with complete plant-based protein!
